I'm an Australian Catholic. Not a Maronite. I testify Maronite Catholics do outstanding charity work. They feed the poor and homeless. They clothe the poor and homeless. They go out of their way to find those in need. I have fallen on hard times and the Maronites brought me food and blankets. I thank God The Creator and Jesus His Son for Maronites. They are full of The Holy Spirit. Merry Christmas Sydney Australia 19th December 2022.
I am originally Maronite Catholic. My girlfriend is Australian but a lapsed Catholic. Please say a very small prayer for her brother so she may return to the faith 🙏🏼
Thats what Sikhs do. Go to any Sikh worship place called Guru (God) dwara (door), anywhere in world. They serve free food and place to stay for few days to any one from any part of world and from any religion without question. At Amritsar (India) over 150,000 eat free every day. Find on Google, ( if don't believe it).

Wow..That's great. I'm also an eastern catholic- specifically a Syro Malabar Catholic. We used Eastern Syriac in our liturgies until around 1960s. Now it is only used in some special occasions.
Ahh you guys are the cousins of the Maronites and other Syriac liturgy Christians. Syriac is used in some Maronite churches, but a lot are mostly Arabic with partial Syriac
@@Jeem196 Actually before being in full communion with rome our church used to be part of the Church of the East/ "Nestorian" church which still uses Eastern Syriac in liturgies.
@@alangervasis That's amazing, I had no idea the Syro-Malabar used to be part of the Nestorian church of the East. I know early in christianity they spread all the way to Turkestan in China, but I had no idea it would have had so much influence. The syriac of the Maronites is West Syriac, the Assyrians are East Syriac, so that's who east syriac ended up there. that is extremely cool
As a Jew, I'm so happy to see you educate the world about Maronites and the genuine diversity of the Middle East. I'm fascinated by your liturgy and its holding to Syriac/Aramaic. By no coincidence our Haggadah, the book read at our Seder, the Passover ritual dinner which was Jesus' last supper, is also entirely in Aramaic. In all the beauty of our differences we share such common linguistic, cultural and religious heritage.
I just saw on i24 News that the Maronite Christians in Lebanon are helping mediate between Israel and Lebanon relations and that is good news. Nothing good comes from Lebanon and Israeli hostility, only bad for everyone. Well done Lebanese Maronite Christians, “Blessed are the peacemakers”.
Beautiful explanation as a Roman Catholic Latino I am fascinated and impressed on how you detail and explained the history of our faith. Christ is King brothers and sisters
My great grandparents on my mother's side were born and raised in Lebanon. They were Maronites. They came to the USA in the late 1800s and ended up in St. Louis, Missouri. My great grandmother always wanted to go back to visit Lebanon, however, she never could. Their last names are Saffa and Saliba.
Yes saliba is a very common last name here it s derived from salib which means cross, the last name saffa i dont know if you have spelled it well ,do u know where they were from?
Thank you for the great video, it is one of the best in explaining the history of the Maronites. I am from Mexico and my maternal grandparents were (deeply religious) Maronites from Zgharta/Ehden in North Lebanon. I was able to visit my ancestors' land twice, back in 2014 and 2015. I absolutely love the Lebanese people and their culture.
Hey jeem, just found your videos and they are great, Love the way you speak about your religion ! From jewish israelin, hope that one day we have peace in our rigion, and lebanon could be prosprous and have peacful life.
My 2x great grandfather migrated to USA from Lebanon he was Maronite. Proud of my Maronite heritage though I do not know much about the culture I'm still happy that I came from a strong people.
Hi. I'm Maronite Catholic in America and am familiar with, and love, our Divine Liturgy, but although Lebanese (4th generation in America), am not as familiar with our history in the World. Thank you for providing this concise review of our history: it was well-said and -informed presentation.
I've spent the past 24hrs trying to educate myself about the Maronite's in Lebanon. Imagine my surprise when my DNA ancestry test results came back showing nearly 1/3 of my ancestry from Aaqoura, Jbeil, Mount Lebanon Governorate, Lebanon /Qartaba, Jbeil, Mount Lebanon Governorate! My head is spinning and this was not expected. Thank you for your video.
I'm guessing that as you all share a common root of origin, that Maronites have a lot of liturgical commonality with Syriac and Indian Orthodox, as well as their counterparts in communion with Rome. Would love to hear more about this.
I think Danny Thomas(founder of St Jude's Hospital for Children) was a Lebanese American Maronite. Lebanese people are wonderful people. If you have a Lebanese friend you have a friend for life.
John Maroun is not St. Maroun. John Maroun is the first patriarch of the Maronite Church who probably made it a church. It was only some kind of Syriac monastic order or an unofficial Christian sect before Rome appointed Him. St. Maroun is the Syriac Monk who founded Maronism, or the Maronite order, through his disciples. Although John Maroun is their first patriarch, the establishers of the church, according to the Maronites, are St. Maroun, Peter the Apostle (who is the first holder of all Antiochian bishoprics or patriarchates) and of course, Jesus Christ.
@@Negev-Israel Yes I respect people of all religions, they can practice their faith freely because I want peace between all humans... How can we have peace if there is someone like you? Your intolerance and ignorance speaks so much about your character, not about the religion
Maronite and grateful to God! Also... "Roman" can mean in Communion with Rome. Hence, the appellation 'Maronite Roman Catholic.' Latin specifically is a Rite. "Roman" is more varied a meaning.
I wouldn't say Eastern Catholics are different denominations. Rather they are Churches, as you mentioned, in full communion with Rome. Good video sir. : )
The Byzantines saw themselves as the only true Christianity (this was pre-Schism) and they accused the Maronites of holding onto heresy. I believe they accused them of being Monophysites, saying they were in the same heresy as the Copts and Syriac Orthodox. It wasn't true however, as the Syriac Orthodox aka Jacobites had their own battles with the Maronites over perceived heresy. This, combined with the new arrival of Islam, is the reason the Maronites flocked to Mount Lebanon and converted the locals, instead of just being spread out in N. Syria
I have actually been researching the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic religions for almost 2 years. I’m really intrigued about the history of the maronites, There is a church here in Phoenix, Arizona that I’m sure goes through the Latin liturgy. I watch their services on Facebook. I really want to visit the church in person at some point 😎
Please go there. I'm delighted to be able to participate in Latin Mass with live Gregorian Chants. I'm able to concentrate way better than during Pope Paul VI rite of 60s (mainstream, modernist). It's so beautiful that sometimes I cry. One girl sings Angus Dei in such a way that it melts my heart. Watching Holy Mass on video is like watching a performance. Can be inspirational, i.e. for people unable to participate. Being there is participation. I recommend you lectures on Syriac spirituality by Chorbishop Seely Beggiani. God bless you.
good video, but you have some information mixed up, as for the maronites originated from mountains of lebanon, and only St Maroun and st Jhon Maroun were from antioque (or Antakia), and at that time it was the state of Antioque and not Syria (there was nothing called syria back then). St Maroun (known as the father of the Maronite faith) came from Antioque to the Mountains of Lebanon with few followers (monks) after the big discussion of the nature of Christ and his identity that took place in Antioque (and there are a lot of discussion about the reason why he left), and that s in the 5th century. Later on in the 7th century, and after the followers of st Maroun started preaching around mountains of Lebanon and specially in Antioque and forming the monasteries, where st John Maroun was educated, and known as a highly strategical leader in religion and arm, and in that period in parallel with the arab expansion, St john Maroun, was known as the leader of the people, whilst the patriarch of Constantinople (today Instanbul), started losing control over Antioque and the rest of the East (what lead later to the clash between king of Constantinople and the St John Maroun). It s said that St John Maroun was the leader of the Maradites of the mountains, or mentioned in History as 'maradit mar youhana maroun', what later lead into St John Maroun to be 'Elected' as the patriarch of Antioque and the rest of the East (since at that time the patriarch used to be elected and not assigned), and he brought the skull of St Maroun (hemit mar maroun) and put it in the monastery of Kfarhay, and later to be known as st John Maroun the father of the maronite church and (this is imp) the father of the ideology that is 'the Mountains is and for ever be the home of the Maronite' , that is why the Maronite people hold that much power in the mountain, hence later in the forming of great Lebanon. And on a side note, the reason why the Arabs never liked the Maronite through history, was because they were the only Christians in the middle east that never submitted as 'ahel zemme'.
Thank you for helping to clarify. I did however mention that today's Maronites are all from Lebanon, but that the original founders came from Antioch. I call it Syria because the general area has been called by Syria, Aram, and other names for some time, and that my audience will know obviously where Syria is. And yes, Maronite identity and politics is all based heavily on Jabal Libnan. That is why I made this video, Maronites are extremely different to your average Arab Orthodox or Catholic from Syria or Jordan. Maronites are essentially an ethno-religious group, they've just lost the ability of Syriac. If they still spoke it, people would see them like the Assyrians or Arameans
@@Jeem196 yeah man, i liked this video's concept, a lot of the new generation not really got the grip about the whole history thing, and in which in my opinion is quite essential for our present. keep up the good work.
@@Jeem196 yes I am Maronite from both sides, and from a very old family from the mountains. Although history is not my professional field, but I have a lot of research about Lebanese people and land history, after all we are currently one of the oldest people that existed by the known history, and we currently have Byblos THE oldest 'constantly' inhabited city as well. And Lebanese people in general are descended from this heritage and we re not anything else as ethnicity , now they color us by other ethnicity for political reason, that s a different story..
@@mariohaykal2543 I appreciate this video and your comment. Since you did research, have some valuable knowledge would you please publish more about it, perhaps you both could cooperate? I like lectures on Syriac spirituality by Chorbishop Seely Beggiani. I found Maronites because of St. Charbel and looking for language closest to Jesus' Aramaic. Is Syrian the Eastern dialect of Aramaic? I love translating, this is very interesting to me.
I wonder what does the Maronite Archbishop and bishop thinks about Pope Francis on blessing homosexuals? Do they back up the decision or are they against it?
Hey Jeem the Maronite liturgy was heavily changed over the decades by the Roman Catholic Church. I wouldn’t say they have maintained thier right from charbel in his skeet
How I wish you would use traditional rite. I'm RC and changes done since 60s by modernists (heretics) are huge. After being protestantized in RC I went 'searching' around. I returned thanks to Latin Holy Mass which gives proper reverence to God (texts of prayers are created in such a way), allows to focus more, ensures Transubstantiation happens all the time. While the rite of pope Paul VI changes idea of Holy Mass from sacrifice to party, allowed for abominations happening now. The Transubstantiation will happen is supposed to happen depending on priests intentions, not saying the right words like in Tridentina.
@@RG-iw7py they should return to the syriac liturgy of Saint James they used when they were under the Antiochian Patriarchate. Prior to the ecclesiastical schism when Bishop John was selected. But history is history and money, politics and power will never let this happen.
Maronites and Chaldeans are the only latinized Oriental Catholics while the Syriac, Coptic, and Byzantine Catholics retain their own traditions by avoiding any latinizations.
@@RG-iw7py the country was entirely on different spectrum during 1940-1960 it was paradise “eden of the middle east” till waves of PLO was formed from refugees during 1948 war and also waves from those who have been deported from Jordan and Syria. Country back then were enriching with very tolerant cultural vibes & engaging happy societies regardless of religion. Not to mention the surplus economy offering decent jobs pay for job seekers and business opportunities for the rich. Even most world figures residing in Lebanon that era due to what i have mentioned above. till PLO ignited the spark when several gun men from islamic background walked into church and plan to shoot everyone in place. This is when things start to collapse and genocide occurring during after 1960 till 1975 or more. That when golden era was a history. I am no Lebanese though but i love history especially countries that has been to similar situation like Lebanon.
@@Krist_Mal008 Fun fact: Tatars started settling in Poland & Lithuania in XVII century, got same rights as local nobility. Some are our WWII heroes, were in 'NSZ' our top military force. Even Germans stated in their reports this organization had the best professionals, great patriots fighting nazi & commies alike. Unfortunately commies won revolution, spread their mistakes all over the world and you won't hear that. They rule Poland to date, do smear campaign about our heroes.
I'd say yes: Catholics are nowadays most persecuted religion. Also we have a period of dominance of modernist heresy in RC. Thanks God process of purification started. Lukewarm Catholics are learning the truth, more people join traditional convents, seminars, create vibrant Catholic communities (land movement in USA) around Holy Latin Mass.
The maronite preoccupation with Power really comes through in this interview. Should point out there are more maronites outside lebanon than inside. When you talk about monopoly over the army command, dont forget to point out the most recently retired maronite commander kahwagi was corrupt and estimated to have laundered $40million
I don’t disagree, but I think that obsession with power is rooted in the anxiety of becoming politically weak like other minorities in the region. Like I said, Lebanon is the only place where Christians can claim they are the supreme power or at least partially. Their attitude is completely different to Copts and Rum for sure. Maronites are more like Alawites in Syria ironically even though they hate al Ba’ath
@@Jeem196 if they agreed to a constitution with equal rights for all sects that was backed by the major powers, there would be no need for anxiety at a lack of power. Evryone knows that whenever crap hits the fan in Leb, the Christians are the first to leave..so if they are holding onto power to defend rights of Christians, why have the majority of them left? The battle for Christian power in Lebanon is about the Christian elites holding onto power, and the church gets dragged into the fight as a matter of survival.
@@mich1074 that's a wise response, thank you for that. good insight. You're right that Christians have been leaving lebanon faster and more often even since the 1800s. I do wish this was not the case, all of the population demographic problems they talk about they could solve by remaining more
@@Jeem196 unfortunately my experience with the Maronite faith hasn't been all positive. I was baptised at St Charbels church in Sydney but the community politics is ridiculous. It's downright embarassing the kind of immoral things I've seen take place there with men in their 40's hanging around the church until 11-12pm after a Sunday night mass like teenagers and eyeing out the younger women. Ive seen them manipulate a much younger disabled woman for their own satisfaction just to feel young again...and God forbid you should speak up and say the truth. Not only will you hit a wall but you will get so much backlash that you become the target of a hate campaign. Lies, smear follow... That's Maronite politics!
@@mich1074 well I must say this is horrific thing to have to witness, I'm sorry you were around such immoral beasts of people. however, obviously everybody's experience is different. me personally I haven't spent much time in Maronite churches. My Maronite Teta usually just took me to Latin Catholic mass since we don't have too many maronite churches in the States. or my mom would take me to Roum mass since she's roum. I think maronites in general have lost a lot of their religiosity in the last century thanks to all the mess in the middle east. they've traded spirituality for maronite ethnic politics in many cases. there are a lot of religious maronites but I wish it wasn't like you describe it. are you catholic yourself? I know a lot of maronites are in Australia ya akh
What do you really know about Catholic religion if you follow Tarot channel? God have mercy on you. Keep searching for truth. I was there were you were.
John 3:13 (Jesus said)No one ascended into heaven. but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which was from the heaven. Matthew 5: 5 (and also Jesus said) Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Arabic language down👇 (interesting for marounite religion) Jesus did not have long hair as apostle Paul said in. A.Corinthians 11:14-15 14 Does not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is an insult to him? 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is to her glory. for his hair is given to him for a covering: Why do we grow old and die? GOD did not want humans to die. Our first parents, Adam and Eve, were created with a perfect mind and body. They could still be alive today. This is clear from what God said to Adam about a tree growing in the garden of Eden. God said to Adam: “The day you eat [from the tree] you will surely die.” - Genesis 2:17. This command would have been meaningless if Adam had been created to grow old and die. Adam knew that if he did not eat from that tree, he would not die. GOD'S PURPOSE WAS NOT THAT PEOPLE DIE. God said to Adam: "Eat your bread with the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground from where you were taken. for you were dust and you will become dust. ”- Genesis 3: 17-19. As a result, “all the days of Adam's life were nine hundred and thirty years and he died.” - Genesis 5: 5. Adam did not go to heaven or hell. Or live in a spiritual realm. What is the Resurrection? The Bible's answer In the Bible, the Greek word translated "resurrection" means "to stand" or "to restore." The resurrected person is resurrected from the dead and is the same person who was before. - 1 Corinthians 15:12, 13. It is true that the word "resurrection" is not found in the Hebrew Scriptures, which are known as the Old Testament, but the promise of resurrection is there. For example, through the prophet Hosea, God promised: “I will rescue them from the hand of the grave, and I will rescue them from death.” - Hosea 13:14; Job 14: 13-15; Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12: 2, 13. Where will people be resurrected? Some people will be resurrected to live in heaven. There they will reign with Jesus Christ. - 2 Corinthians 5: 1; Revelation 5: 9, 10. The Bible calls this resurrection "the first resurrection" and the word "first" makes it clear that there will be another resurrection. - Revelation 20: 6. That other resurrection will be for the living on earth, and most of the dead will be resurrected in this way. - Psalm 37:29. How are the dead raised? God gave Jesus the power to resurrect the dead. - John 11:25. Jesus will bring to life “all those in the memorial tombs,” each with his own personality, attributes, and memories. - John 5:28, 29. Some will be resurrected to live in heaven, while others will be resurrected to live on earth with perfect and healthy bodies. - Isaiah 33:24; 35: 5, 6. 1 Corinthians 15: 42-44, 50 They multiply priests and saints with sad faces pile up, perform miracles, cast out demons. But Jesus said, The tree is known by its fruit. THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 7: 21-23: 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and did many miracles in your name?' 23 Then i will tell them plainly that I did not know you at all. Get away from me, you workers of iniquity. Matthew 7: 15-20 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do they gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? 17 So every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; and an evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Ye shall know them by their fruits. B. LETTER TO CORINTHIANS (Paul) 11: 13-15: 13 For such are the apostles, liars, deceitful workers, impersonating the apostles of Christ. 14 And it is not surprising. because Satan also takes the form of a bright angel. 15 Wherefore, it is not a great thing that his ministers should be likened unto the ministers of righteousness. Their end will be in proportion to their deeds. 4: 4. In whom is the god of this world? (Satan) blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the light of the glory of the gospel of Christ might not shine upon them, which is the image of God. Eternal life is a free gift from God. The eternal punishment is not righteousness because how many years can a person live at most? Here, eternal punishment means eternal death. God is Love! Bible answers Ecclesiastes 3:19,20 19 for there is an outcome for humans and an outcome for animals,they all have the same outcome. As the one dies, so the other dies, and they all have but one life. So man has no superiority over animals, for everything is futile. 20 All are going to the same place. They all come from the dust, and they all are returning to the dust. John 3:13 13 Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven, but the one who descended from heaven, the Son of man. John 5:28,29 28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. Psalm 37:29 29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it! it's clear A. LETTER TO TIMOTHY 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men,the man Christ Jesus! Mattew 24:36 36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. Mattew 23:8-10 8 But be not ye called teachers. for one is your Teacher, even Christ. 9 You are all brothers. And call no man father upon the earth. for one is Father, which is in heaven.10 And be not ye called masters. for one is your Master, even Christ... czcams.com/video/Oo9ytCWBYSw/video.html بطرس الثانية ٢:١-٥ ٢ ولكنْ كانَ أيضًا بَينَ شَعبِ اللّٰهِ أنبِياءُ كَذَّابون، وكَذلِك سيَكون بَينَكُم أنتُم مُعَلِّمونَ كَذَّابون.هؤُلاء سيُدخِلونَ بِالسِّرِّ بِدَعًا مُدَمِّرَة، حتَّى إنَّهُم سيُنكِرونَ كُلِّيًّا مالِكَهُمُ الَّذي اشتَراهُم.وهكَذا يَجلُبونَ على أنفُسِهِم هَلاكًا سَريعًا.٢ وكَثيرونَ سيَتبَعونَ فُجورَهُم،وسَيُقالُ بِسَبَبِهِم كَلامٌ مُهينٌ على طَريقِ الحَقّ.٣ كما أنَّهُم سيَستَغِلُّونَكُم بِطَمَعٍ مِن خِلالِ كَلِماتٍ مُزَوَّرَة. لكنَّ عِقابَهُمُ المُحَدَّدَ مُنذُ زَمَنٍ طَويلٍ لن يَتَأخَّر، وهَلاكَهُم أكيد.٤ فاللّٰهُ لم يَمتَنِعْ عن مُعاقَبَةِ المَلائِكَةِ الَّذينَ أخطَأوا،بل رَماهُم في تَرْتَارُوس،وقَيَّدَهُم بِسَلاسِلَ في ظَلامٍ شَديدٍ إلى أن يُنَفَّذَ فيهِمِ الحُكم.٥ ولم يَمتَنِعْ عن مُعاقَبَةِ عالَمٍ قَديم،بل حَمى نُوح الَّذي بَشَّرَ بِالطَّريقِ الصَّحيح،وحَمى معهُ سَبعَةً آخَرين،حينَ جَلَبَ طوفانًا على عالَمٍ مَليءٍ بِأشخاصٍ لا يَخافونَ اللّٰه. *هكذا تستغل المحكمة الروحية أبناءها الموارنة!!! czcams.com/video/JxCbAcNw7gY/video.html
Yes, I believe a "dispensation" is required. Canonically, the children follow the rite/church of the father, though in practice this is sometimes not followed.
Yes. It’s largely a paper-pushing/ box-ticking exercise, and is basically due to the churches being administered separately, and so needing to share their files between each other.
Please don't, there's no salvation outside the Church. I'm Polish RC, though this way when Polish clergy did not purge themselves from commies agents. They will go away. Process of purification of the Church started. More and more people learn traditional faith, reject heresy of modernism. Once upon time 80 % of the Church believed in heresy of Arianism. All heresy will be destroyed. Who's like God!
Wonderful video… You know… I was there… In 1096… When the Roman Catholics arrived… And I said to them… We’ve been waiting for you for over 400 years… Why have you taken so long… to arrive?

Excellent! Thank you
Hi I'm Maronite . St Charbel adopted me. I wish I could kiss every stone of every Maronite church .
Very informative video bro, exactly what i was looking for. Thanks
My great grandparents on my mother's side were born and raised in Lebanon. They were Maronites. They came to the USA in the late 1800s and ended up in St. Louis, Missouri. My great grandmother always wanted to go back to visit Lebanon, however, she never could. Their last names are Saffa and Saliba.
Yes saliba is a very common last name here it s derived from salib which means cross, the last name saffa i dont know if you have spelled it well ,do u know where they were from?
Thank you for explaining..😇♥️🙏
Informative. Appreciated
Very informative video!
Thanks Bro. Jeem 🇵🇭
I am Maronite Egyptian American
And very proud
Thank you for the great video, it is one of the best in explaining the history of the Maronites. I am from Mexico and my maternal grandparents were (deeply religious) Maronites from Zgharta/Ehden in North Lebanon. I was able to visit my ancestors' land twice, back in 2014 and 2015. I absolutely love the Lebanese people and their culture.
Hey jeem, just found your videos and they are great, Love the way you speak about your religion ! From jewish israelin, hope that one day we have peace in our rigion, and lebanon could be prosprous and have peacful life.
Good Information, God bless you brother, humanity is under crisis, pray for it. Thanks
My 2x great grandfather migrated to USA from Lebanon he was Maronite. Proud of my Maronite heritage though I do not know much about the culture I'm still happy that I came from a strong people.
Hi. I'm Maronite Catholic in America and am familiar with, and love, our Divine Liturgy, but although Lebanese (4th generation in America), am not as familiar with our history in the World. Thank you for providing this concise review of our history: it was well-said and -informed presentation.
Gold bless you ❤️
I've spent the past 24hrs trying to educate myself about the Maronite's in Lebanon. Imagine my surprise when my DNA ancestry test results came back showing nearly 1/3 of my ancestry from Aaqoura, Jbeil, Mount Lebanon Governorate, Lebanon /Qartaba, Jbeil, Mount Lebanon Governorate! My head is spinning and this was not expected. Thank you for your video.
God bless all their efforts in bringing peace n good will
God bless the Maronites for preserving its heritage and Jesus words. 2024
I'm guessing that as you all share a common root of origin, that Maronites have a lot of liturgical commonality with Syriac and Indian Orthodox, as well as their counterparts in communion with Rome. Would love to hear more about this.
Proud to be Lebanese Maronite 🇱🇧✝️
I would love a videos of the catholic orthodox lebanese that fled the country in the early 1900s
I think Danny Thomas(founder of St Jude's Hospital for Children) was a Lebanese American Maronite. Lebanese people are wonderful people. If you have a Lebanese friend you have a friend for life.
Loved the story about the Maronites not laying down for the Ummayads, but in fact harassing them. Very rich history!
John Maroun is not St. Maroun. John Maroun is the first patriarch of the Maronite Church who probably made it a church. It was only some kind of Syriac monastic order or an unofficial Christian sect before Rome appointed Him. St. Maroun is the Syriac Monk who founded Maronism, or the Maronite order, through his disciples. Although John Maroun is their first patriarch, the establishers of the church, according to the Maronites, are St. Maroun, Peter the Apostle (who is the first holder of all Antiochian bishoprics or patriarchates) and of course, Jesus Christ.
SAD to see Lebanon got over run by MUSLIMS
But Pray my brothers in Christ for all of these shall pass

@3:58 How did the Byzantines try to eradicate the Maronites? What did they do to them, exactly?
The Byzantines saw themselves as the only true Christianity (this was pre-Schism) and they accused the Maronites of holding onto heresy. I believe they accused them of being Monophysites, saying they were in the same heresy as the Copts and Syriac Orthodox. It wasn't true however, as the Syriac Orthodox aka Jacobites had their own battles with the Maronites over perceived heresy. This, combined with the new arrival of Islam, is the reason the Maronites flocked to Mount Lebanon and converted the locals, instead of just being spread out in N. Syria
@@Jeem196 Wow! That's interesting. Thank you, I never knew that.
Are Arameans and Maronites the same ?
Proud to be Maronite! ✝️
I think you are confusing Saint Maron and Saint John Maron a little bit at the beginning.
Good catch, thanks for reminding me. I do get the two confused sometimes
What's the difference?

I have actually been researching the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic religions for almost 2 years. I’m really intrigued about the history of the maronites, There is a church here in Phoenix, Arizona that I’m sure goes through the Latin liturgy. I watch their services on Facebook. I really want to visit the church in person at some point 😎
My dear friend some of your information is incorrect.
Please go there. I'm delighted to be able to participate in Latin Mass with live Gregorian Chants. I'm able to concentrate way better than during Pope Paul VI rite of 60s (mainstream, modernist). It's so beautiful that sometimes I cry. One girl sings Angus Dei in such a way that it melts my heart. Watching Holy Mass on video is like watching a performance. Can be inspirational, i.e. for people unable to participate. Being there is participation. I recommend you lectures on Syriac spirituality by Chorbishop Seely Beggiani. God bless you.
@@AM-zh6nj You're right. Give him a time to connect dots. He seen the treasure, needs to go there to acquire it:)
good video, but you have some information mixed up, as for the maronites originated from mountains of lebanon, and only St Maroun and st Jhon Maroun were from antioque (or Antakia), and at that time it was the state of Antioque and not Syria (there was nothing called syria back then). St Maroun (known as the father of the Maronite faith) came from Antioque to the Mountains of Lebanon with few followers (monks) after the big discussion of the nature of Christ and his identity that took place in Antioque (and there are a lot of discussion about the reason why he left), and that s in the 5th century. Later on in the 7th century, and after the followers of st Maroun started preaching around mountains of Lebanon and specially in Antioque and forming the monasteries, where st John Maroun was educated, and known as a highly strategical leader in religion and arm, and in that period in parallel with the arab expansion, St john Maroun, was known as the leader of the people, whilst the patriarch of Constantinople (today Instanbul), started losing control over Antioque and the rest of the East (what lead later to the clash between king of Constantinople and the St John Maroun). It s said that St John Maroun was the leader of the Maradites of the mountains, or mentioned in History as 'maradit mar youhana maroun', what later lead into St John Maroun to be 'Elected' as the patriarch of Antioque and the rest of the East (since at that time the patriarch used to be elected and not assigned), and he brought the skull of St Maroun (hemit mar maroun) and put it in the monastery of Kfarhay, and later to be known as st John Maroun the father of the maronite church and (this is imp) the father of the ideology that is 'the Mountains is and for ever be the home of the Maronite' , that is why the Maronite people hold that much power in the mountain, hence later in the forming of great Lebanon. And on a side note, the reason why the Arabs never liked the Maronite through history, was because they were the only Christians in the middle east that never submitted as 'ahel zemme'.
Thank you for helping to clarify. I did however mention that today's Maronites are all from Lebanon, but that the original founders came from Antioch. I call it Syria because the general area has been called by Syria, Aram, and other names for some time, and that my audience will know obviously where Syria is. And yes, Maronite identity and politics is all based heavily on Jabal Libnan. That is why I made this video, Maronites are extremely different to your average Arab Orthodox or Catholic from Syria or Jordan. Maronites are essentially an ethno-religious group, they've just lost the ability of Syriac. If they still spoke it, people would see them like the Assyrians or Arameans
@@Jeem196 yeah man, i liked this video's concept, a lot of the new generation not really got the grip about the whole history thing, and in which in my opinion is quite essential for our present. keep up the good work.
@@mariohaykal2543 Thanks my man. Are you Maronite yourself if I may ask? I'm from a mixed maronite-orthodox-melkite family
@@Jeem196 yes I am Maronite from both sides, and from a very old family from the mountains. Although history is not my professional field, but I have a lot of research about Lebanese people and land history, after all we are currently one of the oldest people that existed by the known history, and we currently have Byblos THE oldest 'constantly' inhabited city as well. And Lebanese people in general are descended from this heritage and we re not anything else as ethnicity , now they color us by other ethnicity for political reason, that s a different story..
@@mariohaykal2543 I appreciate this video and your comment. Since you did research, have some valuable knowledge would you please publish more about it, perhaps you both could cooperate?
I like lectures on Syriac spirituality by Chorbishop Seely Beggiani. I found Maronites because of St. Charbel and looking for language closest to Jesus' Aramaic. Is Syrian the Eastern dialect of Aramaic? I love translating, this is very interesting to me.
I'm greek catholic and just found out that our maronites brothers are more catholic than us 😂

I wonder what does the Maronite Archbishop and bishop thinks about Pope Francis on blessing homosexuals? Do they back up the decision or are they against it?

I am maronite

They will return. Who's like God!
These are the Lebanese I am most familiar with.
Hey Jeem the Maronite liturgy was heavily changed over the decades by the Roman Catholic Church. I wouldn’t say they have maintained thier right from charbel in his skeet
How I wish you would use traditional rite. I'm RC and changes done since 60s by modernists (heretics) are huge. After being protestantized in RC I went 'searching' around. I returned thanks to Latin Holy Mass which gives proper reverence to God (texts of prayers are created in such a way), allows to focus more, ensures Transubstantiation happens all the time. While the rite of pope Paul VI changes idea of Holy Mass from sacrifice to party, allowed for abominations happening now. The Transubstantiation will happen is supposed to happen depending on priests intentions, not saying the right words like in Tridentina.
@@RG-iw7py they should return to the syriac liturgy of Saint James they used when they were under the Antiochian Patriarchate. Prior to the ecclesiastical schism when Bishop John was selected. But history is history and money, politics and power will never let this happen.
Just looked up Lebanon on the Wikipedia I knew nothing about it then saw Maronites wondered WTF is that
Maronites and Chaldeans are the only latinized Oriental Catholics while the Syriac, Coptic, and Byzantine Catholics retain their own traditions by avoiding any latinizations.
Maronites should start speaking Syriac language again. They are not Arabs but Phoenicians and should abandon that imposed language
I've long heard that Maronites were in Lebanon before Arabs and Arabic.
Lebanese thank you
As Saudi, i wish Lebanon stays on Fiuad Chehab Era. Lebanon was completely different when Maronites ruled it ☹️
Please elaborate on it. I'm Polish and intrigued what was better?
@@RG-iw7py the country was entirely on different spectrum during 1940-1960 it was paradise “eden of the middle east” till waves of PLO was formed from refugees during 1948 war and also waves from those who have been deported from Jordan and Syria. Country back then were enriching with very tolerant cultural vibes & engaging happy societies regardless of religion. Not to mention the surplus economy offering decent jobs pay for job seekers and business opportunities for the rich. Even most world figures residing in Lebanon that era due to what i have mentioned above. till PLO ignited the spark when several gun men from islamic background walked into church and plan to shoot everyone in place. This is when things start to collapse and genocide occurring during after 1960 till 1975 or more. That when golden era was a history.
I am no Lebanese though but i love history especially countries that has been to similar situation like Lebanon.
@@Krist_Mal008 Thank you very much for your comment, connecting dots for me:) I'm Polish, please feel free to ask any question about my history.
@@Krist_Mal008 Fun fact: Tatars started settling in Poland & Lithuania in XVII century, got same rights as local nobility. Some are our WWII heroes, were in 'NSZ' our top military force. Even Germans stated in their reports this organization had the best professionals, great patriots fighting nazi & commies alike. Unfortunately commies won revolution, spread their mistakes all over the world and you won't hear that. They rule Poland to date, do smear campaign about our heroes.
@@RG-iw7py i am glad information was valuable to you. Much love to Poland. I would love to visit Warsaw. Wanted to apply for a job there☹️
The meronites are Syriac and syriac are Assyrians
Are maronites endangered?
They were in the civil war
I'd say yes: Catholics are nowadays most persecuted religion. Also we have a period of dominance of modernist heresy in RC. Thanks God process of purification started. Lukewarm Catholics are learning the truth, more people join traditional convents, seminars, create vibrant Catholic communities (land movement in USA) around Holy Latin Mass.
The maronite preoccupation with Power really comes through in this interview. Should point out there are more maronites outside lebanon than inside. When you talk about monopoly over the army command, dont forget to point out the most recently retired maronite commander kahwagi was corrupt and estimated to have laundered $40million
I don’t disagree, but I think that obsession with power is rooted in the anxiety of becoming politically weak like other minorities in the region. Like I said, Lebanon is the only place where Christians can claim they are the supreme power or at least partially. Their attitude is completely different to Copts and Rum for sure. Maronites are more like Alawites in Syria ironically even though they hate al Ba’ath
@@Jeem196 if they agreed to a constitution with equal rights for all sects that was backed by the major powers, there would be no need for anxiety at a lack of power. Evryone knows that whenever crap hits the fan in Leb, the Christians are the first to leave..so if they are holding onto power to defend rights of Christians, why have the majority of them left? The battle for Christian power in Lebanon is about the Christian elites holding onto power, and the church gets dragged into the fight as a matter of survival.
@@mich1074 that's a wise response, thank you for that. good insight. You're right that Christians have been leaving lebanon faster and more often even since the 1800s. I do wish this was not the case, all of the population demographic problems they talk about they could solve by remaining more
@@Jeem196 unfortunately my experience with the Maronite faith hasn't been all positive. I was baptised at St Charbels church in Sydney but the community politics is ridiculous. It's downright embarassing the kind of immoral things I've seen take place there with men in their 40's hanging around the church until 11-12pm after a Sunday night mass like teenagers and eyeing out the younger women. Ive seen them manipulate a much younger disabled woman for their own satisfaction just to feel young again...and God forbid you should speak up and say the truth. Not only will you hit a wall but you will get so much backlash that you become the target of a hate campaign. Lies, smear follow... That's Maronite politics!
@@mich1074 well I must say this is horrific thing to have to witness, I'm sorry you were around such immoral beasts of people. however, obviously everybody's experience is different. me personally I haven't spent much time in Maronite churches. My Maronite Teta usually just took me to Latin Catholic mass since we don't have too many maronite churches in the States. or my mom would take me to Roum mass since she's roum. I think maronites in general have lost a lot of their religiosity in the last century thanks to all the mess in the middle east. they've traded spirituality for maronite ethnic politics in many cases. there are a lot of religious maronites but I wish it wasn't like you describe it. are you catholic yourself? I know a lot of maronites are in Australia ya akh
Your list is missing the oldest and original church of the East if you do not take it down we move ahead with defamation.
What do you really know about Catholic religion if you follow Tarot channel? God have mercy on you. Keep searching for truth. I was there were you were.

Jesus did not have long hair as apostle Paul said in. A.Corinthians 11:14-15
14 Does not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is an insult to him? 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is to her glory. for his hair is given to him for a covering:
Why do we grow old and die?
GOD did not want humans to die. Our first parents, Adam and Eve, were created with a perfect mind and body. They could still be alive today. This is clear from what God said to Adam about a tree growing in the garden of Eden.
God said to Adam: “The day you eat [from the tree] you will surely die.” - Genesis 2:17. This command would have been meaningless if Adam had been created to grow old and die. Adam knew that if he did not eat from that tree, he would not die.
GOD'S PURPOSE WAS NOT THAT PEOPLE DIE.
God said to Adam: "Eat your bread with the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground from where you were taken. for you were dust and you will become dust. ”- Genesis 3: 17-19. As a result, “all the days of Adam's life were nine hundred and thirty years and he died.” - Genesis 5: 5. Adam did not go to heaven or hell. Or live in a spiritual realm.
What is the Resurrection?
The Bible's answer
In the Bible, the Greek word translated "resurrection" means "to stand" or "to restore." The resurrected person is resurrected from the dead and is the same person who was before. - 1 Corinthians 15:12, 13.
It is true that the word "resurrection" is not found in the Hebrew Scriptures, which are known as the Old Testament, but the promise of resurrection is there. For example, through the prophet Hosea, God promised: “I will rescue them from the hand of the grave, and I will rescue them from death.” - Hosea 13:14; Job 14: 13-15; Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12: 2, 13.
Where will people be resurrected? Some people will be resurrected to live in heaven. There they will reign with Jesus Christ. - 2 Corinthians 5: 1; Revelation 5: 9, 10. The Bible calls this resurrection "the first resurrection" and the word "first" makes it clear that there will be another resurrection. - Revelation 20: 6. That other resurrection will be for the living on earth, and most of the dead will be resurrected in this way. - Psalm 37:29.
How are the dead raised? God gave Jesus the power to resurrect the dead. - John 11:25. Jesus will bring to life “all those in the memorial tombs,” each with his own personality, attributes, and memories. - John 5:28, 29. Some will be resurrected to live in heaven, while others will be resurrected to live on earth with perfect and healthy bodies. - Isaiah 33:24; 35: 5, 6. 1 Corinthians 15: 42-44, 50
They multiply priests and saints with sad faces pile up, perform miracles, cast out demons. But Jesus said, The tree is known by its fruit.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW
7: 21-23:
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and did many miracles in your name?' 23 Then i will tell them plainly that I did not know you at all. Get away from me, you workers of iniquity.
Matthew 7: 15-20
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do they gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? 17 So every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; and an evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Ye shall know them by their fruits.
B. LETTER TO CORINTHIANS (Paul)
11: 13-15:
13 For such are the apostles, liars, deceitful workers, impersonating the apostles of Christ. 14 And it is not surprising. because Satan also takes the form of a bright angel. 15 Wherefore, it is not a great thing that his ministers should be likened unto the ministers of righteousness. Their end will be in proportion to their deeds.
4: 4. In whom is the god of this world?
(Satan) blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the light of the glory of the gospel of Christ might not shine upon them, which is the image of God.
Eternal life is a free gift from God. The eternal punishment is not righteousness because how many years can a person live at most? Here, eternal punishment means eternal death. God is Love!
Bible answers
Ecclesiastes 3:19,20
19 for there is an outcome for humans and an outcome for animals,they all have the same outcome. As the one dies, so the other dies, and they all have but one life. So man has no superiority over animals, for everything is futile. 20 All are going to the same place. They all come from the dust, and they all are returning to the dust.
John 3:13
13 Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven, but the one who descended from heaven, the Son of man.
John 5:28,29
28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.
Psalm 37:29
29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it!
it's clear
A. LETTER TO TIMOTHY 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men,the man Christ Jesus!
Mattew 24:36
36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.
Mattew 23:8-10
8 But be not ye called teachers. for one is your Teacher, even Christ. 9 You are all brothers. And call no man father upon the earth. for one is Father, which is in heaven.10 And be not ye called masters. for one is your Master, even Christ...

Asa Roman Catholic, do you need permission from a Roman Catholic bishop and a Maronite bishop to marry a Maronite?
Yes, I believe a "dispensation" is required. Canonically, the children follow the rite/church of the father, though in practice this is sometimes not followed.
Yes. It’s largely a paper-pushing/ box-ticking exercise, and is basically due to the churches being administered separately, and so needing to share their files between each other.
